The membership problem for hypergeometric sequences with rational parameters

We investigate the Membership Problem for hypergeometric sequences: given a hypergeometric sequence ❬un❭∞n=0 of rational numbers and a target t∈Q, decide whether t occurs in the sequence. We show decidability of this problem under the assumption that in the defining recurrence p(n)un = q(n)un-1, the...
